Answer:
The input force (effort) is the amount of effort used to push down on a rod, or pull on a rope in order to move the weight. In this example, the force the little guy is using to pull the elephant is the input force.
Explanation:
Answer:
The equation of motion is 

Explanation:
Lets calculate
The weight attached to the spring is 24 pounds
Acceleration due to gravity is 
Assume x , is spring stretched length is ,4 inches
Converting the length inches into feet 
The weight (W=mg) is balanced by restoring force ks at equilibrium position
mg=kx
⇒ 
The spring constant , 
= 72
If the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position by an amount x, then the differential equation is



Auxiliary equation is, 

=
Thus , the solution is 

The mass is released from the rest x'(0) = 0
=0


Therefore ,

Since , the mass is released from the rest from 4 inches
inches
feet
feet
Therefore , the equation of motion is 
Vector 1 has components


and vector 2 has


Add these vectors to get the resultant, which has components


The magnitude of the resultant is

with direction
such that

or about 50º N of E.
Its letter C. 5N to the left. Since Jeremy's force in Newtons are higher than Amanda's (in newtons), and since Jeremy's force directs to the left, then the direction of the force will be to the LEFT. Then subtract the higher one to the lower one so that would be: 10N-5N=5N. So it is C. 5N to the left.
